Robert Daniels have been awarded Teacher of the Year 2018

Robert Daniels at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics will be appointed teacher of the year 2018 for his creativity in teaching, which ables his students to experience and test different biochemical processes.

By systematically seeking student feedback, Robert strives to develop his courses. He allows students to work with real, research-related tasks already in their first year of study and succeeds in creating commitment, enthusiasm and self-confidence among the students. The students appreciate him because he creates a safe learning environment with a high degree of so-called peer-learning, where students work in a group of structured tasks. This makes them more inclined to share if they do not understand and feel safe to communicate what support they need. Roberts pedagogical work has also inspired colleagues and contributed to important educational discussions at the department.
